Actually, it *is* for Objective-C "exactally". If you examine
the list of Apple mailing lists (at
http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/), you'll see that,
athough there is a java-dev list and a fortran-dev list, there
is no "objectivec-dev" list. Cocoa and Objective-C are "deeply
intertwingled" (to steal a phrase from Ted Nelson), at least as
they relate to OS X. They are so "intertwingled", in fact, that
one simply cannot use Objective-C on OS X without also using
Cocoa.
Well, that's not entirely true. If you feel like starting
pretty much from scratch, there's nothing stopping you from
using Object or even defining your own root classes if you like.
(As but one example: how often are classes declared that are
*not* a subclass of NSObject?
I do it once every ten years or so ;-)
